@@gamemaster2819 Dude how is this related to the video or this comment at all? To me it looks like you wanted an excuse to say that spoiler. Thank you for putting a spoiler warning at least.
@@arkauthor last I checked, he’s able to change the toppings on the pizza just by thinking of them, and only he can eat the pizza and have it regenerate the bits eaten.
Simple? That could potentially end world hunger.😮 Pizza is one of the most balanced foods. It just has a lot of carbs and fat. Which teens and starving people need. More so if you can change the toppings.
He's also a genius. He managed to make ONE wish that somehow involved an infinite pizza with continuous use AND cleaning/healing his friends exactly once.
7:36 There's something so genuinely sweet about the way Soo's says, "Laser Tag? I love Laser Tag. How did you guys know?" It said with such a great mix of appreciation and surprise, proving that the Pines are his real family
The best part of all of this is that Dipper and Mabel inadvertently GAVE SOOS A FATHER FIGURE BY LEADING HIM TO THE MYSTERY SHACK AT THE PRECISE MOMENT TO GET A JOB WITH STAN.
Especially when you're able to command it to change toppings. I would probably be eating nothing but new and interesting pizza combos for the rest of my life!
Another heartwarming fact from the journals: Stan promised Soos he WON'T send him postcards if he ever needs to go away. This is something Soos really appreciates.
It's one thing if a kid's dad just leaves and doesn't write back because the kid can just move on with their life... but no, Soos's dad just keeps sending postcards going "Next time for sure!" and keeps teasing that he'll show up but never does. All the while Soos keeps getting his hopes up and destroyed with each postcard. That's f*cked up, man.
14:15 Dipper gets stuck in his head about a lot of things in the show, ESPECIALLY in regards to Wendy. Through this happenstance encounter during their time mission, Dipper gets to actually experience the feeling of getting crushed on by a younger kid BY a younger Wendy and he feels justifiably uncomfortable with the notion. Finally giving him the context of Wendy's own position in the matter It's SUCH a cool way to utilize a time travel plotline.

One of my favourite attention to detail moments is the screwdriver dropped at 21:26 resulting in Soos starting at the mystery shack. A very interesting touch to a character's origin story.
I like how she comes with those theories about there being a misunderstanding being arrested or being the party clown, like one's father not caring about them isn't an idea that comes to her naturally
usually that's how a person who's family actually cares about them think. I've met people who cant fathom cutting off contact with their parents and others just completely dumbfounded when one is just not friendly with their siblings.

This is a top episode for me! Not only is it just good, heart warming, with a good message, but this episode helped SO MUCH when a friend and I were watching Loki and she wasn't sure what a bootstrap paradox was 🤣 since we both saw this, best example to use haha
i remember the last phone call i had when i was little with my biological father, he had promised to send me a remote control car.. i spent the next 2-3 year always getting excited that he had sent something to me when a package would show up in the mail. though in the end i was really lucky to have a cool mom and man who would become dad that was there and gave me a good childhood and loving home. Amazingly my mom never spoke bad of my father, and when i finally found him at around 17 i realized he was a nice guy but really bad at the part of life where responsibility was concerned and just could not manage being a parent.
For those in the know on this whole show and the upcoming episodes, I just noticed some things whenever Blendin Blandin is cycling through his camouflage while in the white room. Cool little easter egg for those that know and or want to find out for themselves.
his love for stan is so valid though Stan doesn't ever show it, the fact he got himself banned on all airplanes in an attempt to make Sues feel better is evidence he cares for him a lot.
This is a comment by *@selkie76* on the 2x8 episode reaction from *Blind Wave* From Dipper's notes on the infinite pizza in the published Journal 3:- "Anyone can take a bite, but it will only regenerate after Soos has eaten it. This is why it can't solve world hunger - only Soos's mouth has the magic! (Did I really just write that?) Soos can ask for different toppings and the pizza will obey. I don't know how the pizza can understand him with his mouth full." end of their comment. My question after reading that toppings information was "Can he request a triangle topping that when he bites into it, Bill Cipher is permanently weakened in some way?"
As some one who has never met their birth dad, Soos saying f that guy he never once cared about me is such a good message, who cares who your parents are if they don’t care about you, find someone in your life who does, that matters a lot more than being related.
According to the text on the paper Dipper and Mabel found that confirmed Nathaniel Northwest didn’t found Gravity Falls, it mentions that Time Baby was trapped in the polar ice caps or something and he presumably escaped due to global warming.
Soos is that dude. Always willing to help, generally a cool happy dude, and loves the people around him. Also comes up with great ideas I would love infinite pizza.
This episode really puts into perspective why he’s so loyal to the Pines family. Grunkle Stan became the Father figure he’d been needing for so long, and that’s incredible.❤🩹
disregarding the creeps out there, little Wendy's design is adorable, I wan to bake cookies for her. Also I'm now wondering if that's also part of the reason she's uncomfortable with Dipper's crush, given the whole, saw someone who looks exactly the same 10 years ago thing
To be fair, there's a MASSIVE difference between 5 & 12. That's SEVEN whole years with a CHILD. Meanwhile, Dipper and Mabel are only a year away from high school, so Dipper could realistically date someone only two or three years above him then. Alicia treats Wendy like she's a full-on adult when she's barely a teen herself. Like, two-year gaps in high school are rare, but they do happen. (Not justifying Dipper's obsession/crush, nor do I condone shipping minors), but it's really is not as outlandish, creepy, or pedophilic as Alicia is making it out to be.
My Dad was arrested on my 13th birthday and went to prison. It sucked in a pretty serious way, considering there wasn't a mother in the picture. Just like with Soos, I was raised by my grandmother while my Dad as in the joint. I mention this just because I never realized that it as a media cliché. I always just used the story to win arguments over who had the worse childhood/birthday.
I will say Time Baby is not the Rick & Morty incest baby; even if R&M and GF take place in a shared universe, in the current year, Time Baby is frozen in the ice of Antarctica and won't break free for a thousand years. So we're safe from that overlap, Alicia.
No parents Lives with other relative Loves his friends clear use of nen at 2:00 has the main villain acknowledge his high potential in the season 1 finale Went through a trial to see his dad Soos is the Gon of Gravity falls.
the best part about the inifit pizza is, even if it grows mold you just cut of the mold parts and it will regrow new pizza. Like you just cut it down til there no more mold on But forget it in a store room for too long and you gonna have a hole new eco-system growing in there lol
4:17 You are describing a fiesta. I had Mexican neighbors when I was little. The Garcias are lovely people that I should really get back in touch with. Warm people, warm food, loud music. Many Mexicans know how to have a wholesome good time.
While a lot of Blendin’s humor has lost some of its charm given recent revelations about the kind of person Justin Roiland is, I have to admit that the line about “I’m going to keep stammering until you find them! I-I-I-I-I-“ still makes me laugh.
people asked alex hirsh the creator if soos could use the infinity pizza to end world hunger, sadly the answer is that it only regenerates when specifically soos eats that specific slice, so for anyone else it would be a normal slice and it would eventually disappear if soos tried to lend it out.
I like that at the end, Stan became a father figure to Soos. That’s why the dude is so loyal to the old man. There are even some cute fan art out there showing how much the two appreciate each other.
Why am I just now realizing something about the red screwdriver. Way back in Time Traveller's Pig, Stan said he had lost it, But Blendin had stolen it. And now, in this episode, Blendin drops it in the past and young Soos finds it and gives it back to Stan until the day in Time Traveller's Pig where he's going to lose it again and now the screwdriver is stuck in a time loop.
Stan might have not been the best male role model for Soos but did they teach him how to box and he was willing to break any law he has to make sure Soos is okay.
I'm just on the like, other side of the other fence on the whole age thing. Like I genuinely GET that when you're 18 and younger the age-difference between two years or more is HUGE. But I also feel like that's a normal perspective thing that makes sense AS a kid. As an adult it just feels like the age-gap logic makes less and less sense and then varying laws on age of consent only muddy it more and it's just like bizarre all around. Then there's like studys saying your brain is still 'developing' up until your twenties and it's like- is that a better marker for adult-hood? Should the age of consent go UP to like 20-25??? Point is I don't like thinking about it and just say follow the law lol
14:58 isn’t that the same case with Luffy and Boa because if I remember correctly Boa is 31 and luffy is now 19, and Ive seen people accepting it and that’s where I get hella confused cause people don’t criticize Boa for thirsting for a 17 year old
I have to point out that there is a huge difference. Luffy was already killing people at 17. In fact, even earlier, most likely. He is psychologically a psychopath by the standards of the average modern person - he has almost no empathy, has never been afraid of pain since childhood, and has never been afraid of the death of strangers. Here, in general, his age fades into the background. There are, probably, no such laws in that world as far as we know - this is also important. And finally, it is a different world with different concepts of morality and different people, while Gravity Falls is a complete reflection of our world, it just has our own myths and legends in addition.
the thing about age gaps, imo it's not really about the actual amount of years but the ratio so like 21 and 22 is a one unit gap, the ratio between them is not that big, about 1.047 but 1 and 2, also a one unit gap, and the ratio is 2, twice as big so if we imagine, say, a 25 yo and a 50 yo, the ratio is 2, and that would be quite sus basically my point is, 3 year gap is fine when it's adults, not fine when it's kids, because the ratio is larger
I know I said McGucket's my favourite character but Soos doesn't fall that far behind. Also it is believed his dad was a luchador and you'll see why soon. As for the ciphers: Credits: "DON'T DO THE TIME CRIME IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME TIME" Page: "JOIN THE TIME PARADOX AVOIDANCE ENFORCEMENT SQUADRON! GREAT HOURS! SOLID BENEFITS! SIGN UP YESTERDAY!"
I think Alicia missed/overlooked the part of Mabel being the one to show Soos how to open the vending machine. Also, there's a near-blink and you'll miss it episode of Rick & Morty that reveals that it shares a multiverse with Gravity Falls. It's one of the many different dimensions, but a character from Gravity Falls befriends Rick.
u know whats crazy if u think about it soos rly just solved world hunger and is keeping it to himself with that pizza lmfaooo. but respect cause that would be the best gift i could ever ask for lol
Unfortunately the pizza canonically only 'obeys' soos, it only regenerates if he's the one to bite it, and can replace its toppings at his command. This is from the official Journal book.
And now you know why Soos is so devoted to Stan. For Stan it was barely anything. Barely a footnote. But for Soos it was everything. Stan unintentionally became the father figure Soos never had. And for that he earned Soos’s eternal devotion, respect, and love.
10:26 might be my favorite social commentary in the whole show. 13:46 I kinda wanna know who already knew Gideon was terrible back then. 19:07 I wonder if that inspired "Old Rick! I ruin everything!"
Yeah the age thing is weird in the show just cause they’re twelve, a decade down the line is when it really won’t matter since he’d be 22 and she’d be 25.
5:07 and 23:48. OMG! No way did she just predict those. Next thing you know she'll be accused of pre watching like Nuxanor. Btw this isn't a dig at Nux, I actually really like the guy. I also just realized that the handy man Stan fires at the end is Deputy Durland.
I still want to know what Yumberjacks are made with because, i wanna make 'em. I think there's Cinnamon and Maple sugar in it but i'm wondering if its covered in chocolate to make it brown. but maybe there's some wafer roll made from acorn flour to top off the whole tree thing.
Okay back to back with the sad, tragic origin stories for these characters last episode will saw the downfall of Mcgucket’s life and identity in real time and now in this episode we find out that Soos’s dad never cared for him
Alicia's take on the age difference matter's been bugging me for a while, so I'll try to explain why (without being confused with actual criminels if possible) Relationshipwise she's correct, Wendy states that it's making her uncomfortable so that settles it for this case. But legally that's a whole other story. I know the laws in the US regarding sexual majority and age of consent are state laws different one from another so it's hard to be definitive about the subject which is why I'm taking my country's regulations for example. There are 2 rules to consider: In France the age of consent is 15, that is the limit where a minor is considered able to formulate consent in his right mind. Which means that an adult (majority is at 18 btw) having intercourse with a teen above that age is not reprehensible, as far as the adult isn't an ascendant family member or doesn't represent an authority figure (coach, teacher...) However when it comes to 2 minors, the age of consent is lowered to 13, as long as the difference of age doesn't exceed 5 years. I'm not saying those laws are adequate to how relationships function, neither do I have the skills to question them. But my personal opinion is that those kinds of limits are the only ones that need to be generalized to relationships. The rest is personal matters and context dependant, that needs to be mutually defined. In the motherly speech that Alicia's embodying, it's normal to share her values and her concerns about the topic, especially from the industries she's worked with where grooming is overwhelmingly present. I understand that these words can and did protect a lot of people from very harmful situations. But sharing personal values is different from imposing them, and even more different when it comes to insulting those that don't share them. To conclude I think the p-word here is wildly inappropriate for qualifying most of the persons who argued with her on that subject.
Dipper and Wendy are a case of potentially right person but definitely wrong time. If they had met later in life there'd be no issues but they met when they did so it just ain't happening
@@James-nr2hi that's what alot of people say, my comment I put up that it would work if they waited. I didn't think it was bad because when you're older it shouldn't be a problem right?
@@SeinIshamiado I can see where your coming from and you're not entirely wrong, but unfortunately that is dangerously close to what some actual predators do.
The very concept of the age of consent only works when an adult has some sort of relationship with a teenager. In the case of teenagers, such a thing simply does not exist. In my country, for example, the age of consent is 16. If two teenagers or children under 16 start a relationship, it is not regulated in any way.
@@nanakon.8733 I feel like you’re focusing on the wrong thing and missing the main point here. Regulations aside, A 12 year old and a 15 year old are at very different stages in life. When you’re in your twenties, 3 years is so small a difference it may as well be nothing. But when you’re 12, 3 years is a MASSIVE difference. That’s a whole fourth of your life at that point.
@@thebrokenpuppet2714 It all depends on the environment you grow up in. When I was in school, some girls as young as 12-13 years old were dating high school students. And it wasn't a big deal. So maybe I have a different perspective on it.
Hm, this was a nice one, especially when considering all the Time Paradoxes that got revealed in this Episode, Anyway, i think the Next Two ones will be very interesting to watch.
14:35 Alicia for the most part i agree with you that it's not NECESSARY to have a relationship around their ages (12 and 15/16 I think they are now) you're the one who is bringing up smex during the relationship (mind you there might be a few weirdo's who are insinuating it) most people aren't really bringing up the age of consent just that the age difference isn't that too far fetched.
Can we take a moment to talk about how Stan went as far Soos to have a day removed from calendar?!
That's a real father moment to me!
And now he’s not allowed on airplanes.🤷♂️

The best part of all of this is that Dipper and Mabel inadvertently GAVE SOOS A FATHER FIGURE BY LEADING HIM TO THE MYSTERY SHACK AT THE PRECISE MOMENT TO GET A JOB WITH STAN.
That fact that Wendy immediately lets the twins know its not their fault, they diddnt know.
Thats just really wholesome.

(Not justifying Dipper's obsession/crush, nor do I condone shipping minors), but it's really is not as outlandish, creepy, or pedophilic as Alicia is making it out to be.
Even the "(1/2)Age + 8" rule means "Dipper, no dating Wendy until you are eighteen."
Fun fact: Dipper's real name is Mason.
My Dad was arrested on my 13th birthday and went to prison. It sucked in a pretty serious way, considering there wasn't a mother in the picture. Just like with Soos, I was raised by my grandmother while my Dad as in the joint.
I mention this just because I never realized that it as a media cliché. I always just used the story to win arguments over who had the worse childhood/birthday.
Funfact: the names "Lolph" and "Dungren" are a reference to the actor "Dolph Lungren".
I will say Time Baby is not the Rick & Morty incest baby; even if R&M and GF take place in a shared universe, in the current year, Time Baby is frozen in the ice of Antarctica and won't break free for a thousand years. So we're safe from that overlap, Alicia.
family parties are a vibe. Not to loud but good times with people, and to satisfy the sweet tooth
No parents
Lives with other relative
Loves his friends
clear use of nen at 2:00
has the main villain acknowledge his high potential in the season 1 finale
Went through a trial to see his dad
Soos is the Gon of Gravity falls.
Would Soos be an Enhancer? Lol
the best part about the inifit pizza is, even if it grows mold
you just cut of the mold parts and it will regrow new pizza.
Like you just cut it down til there no more mold on
But forget it in a store room for too long and you gonna have
a hole new eco-system growing in there lol
I've never noticed this before. Of course Soos's real name is Jesus.
4:17 You are describing a fiesta. I had Mexican neighbors when I was little. The Garcias are lovely people that I should really get back in touch with. Warm people, warm food, loud music. Many Mexicans know how to have a wholesome good time.
PRPARE FOR GLOBNAR!!!!!!
🔇
Hey. Turns out I can mute him
@@TheyCallMeDioMan, I wish we'd known that earlier.
While a lot of Blendin’s humor has lost some of its charm given recent revelations about the kind of person Justin Roiland is, I have to admit that the line about “I’m going to keep stammering until you find them! I-I-I-I-I-“ still makes me laugh.
Soos is just the absolute best dude.
people asked alex hirsh the creator if soos could use the infinity pizza to end world hunger, sadly the answer is that it only regenerates when specifically soos eats that specific slice, so for anyone else it would be a normal slice and it would eventually disappear if soos tried to lend it out.
Loved this episode. Man a time wish, all I would want is for my family and friends to live happy lives.
I'd unironically trust Soos with my life.
Blendin spoilering the future episodes with his suit again.
I respect poor person extravagance. Much less wasteful.
if alicia doesn’t watch amphibia after this i will CRY-- gravity falls, owl house and amphibia are the like disney trinity right now
I like that at the end, Stan became a father figure to Soos. That’s why the dude is so loyal to the old man. There are even some cute fan art out there showing how much the two appreciate each other.
Why am I just now realizing something about the red screwdriver.
Way back in Time Traveller's Pig, Stan said he had lost it, But Blendin had stolen it. And now, in this episode, Blendin drops it in the past and young Soos finds it and gives it back to Stan until the day in Time Traveller's Pig where he's going to lose it again and now the screwdriver is stuck in a time loop.
I thought of that recently too! The screwdriver is sort of everlasting in a way because of that.
Now for some horror: The Time Baby regularly watches Cocomelon according to the "Book of Bill".
That _is_ horrifying, lmao
Stan might have not been the best male role model for Soos but did they teach him how to box and he was willing to break any law he has to make sure Soos is okay.
I'm just on the like, other side of the other fence on the whole age thing.
Like I genuinely GET that when you're 18 and younger the age-difference between two years or more is HUGE. But I also feel like that's a normal perspective thing that makes sense AS a kid.
As an adult it just feels like the age-gap logic makes less and less sense and then varying laws on age of consent only muddy it more and it's just like bizarre all around.
Then there's like studys saying your brain is still 'developing' up until your twenties and it's like- is that a better marker for adult-hood? Should the age of consent go UP to like 20-25???
Point is I don't like thinking about it and just say follow the law lol
14:58 isn’t that the same case with Luffy and Boa because if I remember correctly Boa is 31 and luffy is now 19, and Ive seen people accepting it and that’s where I get hella confused cause people don’t criticize Boa for thirsting for a 17 year old
I have to point out that there is a huge difference.
Luffy was already killing people at 17. In fact, even earlier, most likely. He is psychologically a psychopath by the standards of the average modern person - he has almost no empathy, has never been afraid of pain since childhood, and has never been afraid of the death of strangers. Here, in general, his age fades into the background.
There are, probably, no such laws in that world as far as we know - this is also important.
And finally, it is a different world with different concepts of morality and different people, while Gravity Falls is a complete reflection of our world, it just has our own myths and legends in addition.
the thing about age gaps, imo it's not really about the actual amount of years but the ratio
so like 21 and 22 is a one unit gap, the ratio between them is not that big, about 1.047
but 1 and 2, also a one unit gap, and the ratio is 2, twice as big
so if we imagine, say, a 25 yo and a 50 yo, the ratio is 2, and that would be quite sus
basically my point is, 3 year gap is fine when it's adults, not fine when it's kids, because the ratio is larger
Age is just a number, but that number starts at 18
I know I said McGucket's my favourite character but Soos doesn't fall that far behind. Also it is believed his dad was a luchador and you'll see why soon.
As for the ciphers:
Credits: "DON'T DO THE TIME CRIME IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME TIME"
Page: "JOIN THE TIME PARADOX AVOIDANCE ENFORCEMENT SQUADRON! GREAT HOURS! SOLID BENEFITS! SIGN UP YESTERDAY!"
I think Alicia missed/overlooked the part of Mabel being the one to show Soos how to open the vending machine.
Also, there's a near-blink and you'll miss it episode of Rick & Morty that reveals that it shares a multiverse with Gravity Falls. It's one of the many different dimensions, but a character from Gravity Falls befriends Rick.
Today's secret message is "DON'T DO THE TIME CRIME IF YOU CAN'T DO THE TIME TIME."
u know whats crazy if u think about it soos rly just solved world hunger and is keeping it to himself with that pizza lmfaooo. but respect cause that would be the best gift i could ever ask for lol
It only regenerates when Soos takes a bite.
Unfortunately the pizza canonically only 'obeys' soos, it only regenerates if he's the one to bite it, and can replace its toppings at his command. This is from the official Journal book.
I am very drunk as a preface, but I just cried my eyes out to this I love this episode
And now you know why Soos is so devoted to Stan. For Stan it was barely anything. Barely a footnote.
But for Soos it was everything. Stan unintentionally became the father figure Soos never had. And for that he earned Soos’s eternal devotion, respect, and love.
Welcome to the year 8000.
Society? Collapsed.
Fog machines? Everywhere.
Hotel? Trivago.
10:26 might be my favorite social commentary in the whole show.
13:46 I kinda wanna know who already knew Gideon was terrible back then.
19:07 I wonder if that inspired "Old Rick! I ruin everything!"
Yeah the age thing is weird in the show just cause they’re twelve, a decade down the line is when it really won’t matter since he’d be 22 and she’d be 25.
There's a comic dub about that, if you want to go down that rabbit hole...
All Soos centered episodes are the best episodes.
22:09: How DARE you compare Time Baby to the Incest Baby!? 😂
5:07 and 23:48. OMG! No way did she just predict those. Next thing you know she'll be accused of pre watching like Nuxanor. Btw this isn't a dig at Nux, I actually really like the guy. I also just realized that the handy man Stan fires at the end is Deputy Durland.
I still want to know what Yumberjacks are made with because, i wanna make 'em.
I think there's Cinnamon and Maple sugar in it but i'm wondering if its covered in chocolate to make it brown. but maybe there's some wafer roll made from acorn flour to top off the whole tree thing.
Okay back to back with the sad, tragic origin stories for these characters last episode will saw the downfall of Mcgucket’s life and identity in real time and now in this episode we find out that Soos’s dad never cared for him
It's a beautiful message: If you have a wish, wish for infinite pizza.
Alicia's take on the age difference matter's been bugging me for a while, so I'll try to explain why (without being confused with actual criminels if possible)
Relationshipwise she's correct, Wendy states that it's making her uncomfortable so that settles it for this case.
But legally that's a whole other story.
I know the laws in the US regarding sexual majority and age of consent are state laws different one from another so it's hard to be definitive about the subject which is why I'm taking my country's regulations for example. There are 2 rules to consider:
In France the age of consent is 15, that is the limit where a minor is considered able to formulate consent in his right mind. Which means that an adult (majority is at 18 btw) having intercourse with a teen above that age is not reprehensible, as far as the adult isn't an ascendant family member or doesn't represent an authority figure (coach, teacher...)
However when it comes to 2 minors, the age of consent is lowered to 13, as long as the difference of age doesn't exceed 5 years.
I'm not saying those laws are adequate to how relationships function, neither do I have the skills to question them.
But my personal opinion is that those kinds of limits are the only ones that need to be generalized to relationships. The rest is personal matters and context dependant, that needs to be mutually defined.
In the motherly speech that Alicia's embodying, it's normal to share her values and her concerns about the topic, especially from the industries she's worked with where grooming is overwhelmingly present. I understand that these words can and did protect a lot of people from very harmful situations.
But sharing personal values is different from imposing them, and even more different when it comes to insulting those that don't share them. To conclude I think the p-word here is wildly inappropriate for qualifying most of the persons who argued with her on that subject.
Given she views loli and shota as p word...yeah. She really needs to stop using that word. She's pulling a Nux.
Loli and shota literally are pedophilic like, 90% of the time though.@@ShinigamiRyan
Cant wait to watch this time video
Dipper and Wendy are a case of potentially right person but definitely wrong time.
If they had met later in life there'd be no issues but they met when they did so it just ain't happening
It could in a few decades.... or if she waits.
@@SeinIshamiado Maybe, but that sounds dangerously close to grooming. I'm not saying it is, because I don't know. But it sounds a lot like it.
@@James-nr2hi that's what alot of people say, my comment I put up that it would work if they waited. I didn't think it was bad because when you're older it shouldn't be a problem right?
@@SeinIshamiado I can see where your coming from and you're not entirely wrong, but unfortunately that is dangerously close to what some actual predators do.
Please react to Over the garden wall!!!
The very concept of the age of consent only works when an adult has some sort of relationship with a teenager. In the case of teenagers, such a thing simply does not exist. In my country, for example, the age of consent is 16. If two teenagers or children under 16 start a relationship, it is not regulated in any way.
@@nanakon.8733 I feel like you’re focusing on the wrong thing and missing the main point here. Regulations aside, A 12 year old and a 15 year old are at very different stages in life. When you’re in your twenties, 3 years is so small a difference it may as well be nothing. But when you’re 12, 3 years is a MASSIVE difference. That’s a whole fourth of your life at that point.
@@thebrokenpuppet2714 It all depends on the environment you grow up in. When I was in school, some girls as young as 12-13 years old were dating high school students. And it wasn't a big deal. So maybe I have a different perspective on it.
@@nanakon.8733I feel really bad for those girls then if that's true.
Infinite pizza and some family who could ask for more
Hm, this was a nice one, especially when considering all the Time Paradoxes that got revealed in this Episode,
Anyway, i think the Next Two ones will be very interesting to watch.
Do my eyes deceive me? An AxD outro? On the AxL channel? What a twist! 🙃
14:35 Alicia for the most part i agree with you that it's not NECESSARY to have a relationship around their ages (12 and 15/16 I think they are now) you're the one who is bringing up smex during the relationship (mind you there might be a few weirdo's who are insinuating it) most people aren't really bringing up the age of consent just that the age difference isn't that too far fetched.
